22-23 Class Placement Parent Input
Here is the video I made over the summer last year to provide more information on our class placement process.
Thanks!
Hello Robinson Families,
I am excited to start an initiative to get kids outside and play. Mandy and Samantha, my two daughters recently told me how much they appreciated me encouraging them to go outside when they were little. Trust me it was a struggle, but now they understand the benefits. They have such a love for being outside, exploring, or even just finding a spot to read a book. You can ask any of my families that have been in my class. I love to get outside and learn and play! At Robinson, we want to join this global initiative: 1000 Hours Outside. Our goal is to see how many hours we can get to before the end of this school year. And then see if we can continue it into the summer and the next school year. All families will receive a packet for great read alouds that encourage being outdoors and some ideas of things you can do throughout the whole year. We have printed 2 different kinds of trackers and you can pick the one that you would like to do. If you would like more information or even a different tracker, you can visit this website: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com. At the end of every month, each family can take a picture of their trackers and turn them into their teacher or just send an email with the hours. You can email me directly too, so that the teacher has less work at cindy.star@kirkwoodschoos.org. I will keep track of how many hours we record each month so that we can see how far we get this spring!
Here are some other reasons to get outside: Nature play aids children in every area of development. If we want children to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and physically we have to build time into our busy lives to spend outdoors.
Let’s get outside and play!

Reporting Postive Covid Cases
Per our commitment to transparency throughout the pandemic, the KSD COVID Dashboard will continue to provide information about positive cases in the District. View the dashboard by visiting kirkwoodschools.org/coviddashboard
The primary role of the dashboard is to provide data specific to the potential for in-school transmission. One of the ways we can ensure the dashboard is as up-to-date as possible is quick and accurate reporting of any student that tests positive for COVID. Families can self report a positive case by using the form below:
Thank you for your assistance in ensuring our data is as current as possible.
Additionally, St. Louis County provides a map by zip code and school district to track community cases. It's available at: https://data.stlouisco.com/apps/covid-19-cases-by-zip-code-in-stl-county/explore
